Although there is no obvious population change observed, the original habitat suffered severely from over-grazing based on three field expeditions conducted in 2011, 2016 and 2019. Living collections introduced to Lijiang alpine botanical garden in 2011 were able to flower and set seeds in the following two years, but no individuals were flowering after the fourth year. Other ex-situ conservation actions, such as seed banking, may apply to secure conservation of this unique
